Wheel of death splitter part 4

I rigged up a 1930 something Briggs washing machine engine to the wheel to see what happens. If I'm gona get it to turn any slower I will have to use an electric motor. It seems to work well, but it scares the hell out of me! I think I should say a prayer each time before I use it :O

4:12 rolled around and you guys got a belly laugh from me.

It's like the atom bomb on a smaller scale. This contraption also proves that we are monkeys that have grown too smart for our own good. Resulting in us killing ourselves in increasingly elaborate ways.

I take my hat off to you sir.

Ya, I kinda built this just to see if I could. I don't use it for anything as I have access to a hydraulic splitter now. It is yard art now, and gets a great reaction as a conversation piece, it makes people crawl in their skin! Be sure to watch part 6 for its final form, thanks for watching.

This has DARWIN AWARD written all over it. Literally RE INVENTING the wheel, for what ? btw, its running too fast. thats why its shattering the wood, rather than cleanly HACKING it. You should be able to TIME it, and at that speed you cant.

Please see part 6. Thanks for watching.

dude if you weld an axe head on it instead of a spitting mall head it wont shoot the wood to the side so violently look up redneck log splitter its a lot smoother...

Just change the gearing to slow it down.
